Some people have too much money.
Also, Dayna was dishonorably dischargedfrom the marines when she just ‘stopped showing up’.
Good god, is she really so stupid to think that she could give these TV interviews and *not *have this shit come up? Why would she even mention her experience in the marines?
But damn, nice to have such quick and very appropriate poetic justice. Why this wench still has a job…
I think that article is overstating what the marines did to her. Probably due to misunderstanding of military procedures. You don’t get a dishonorable discharge for not showing up for drills. You have to be court martialed. She probably got a general discharge.
Baron Rug-Munchausen?
It should be obvious by now that most media outlets have been doing a pissst poor job of researching their stories before they rush to publication. They’d rather be “first” than “correct”.
Having said that, it appears that Morales is a pathological liar. The customers defended themselves from Morales lies by producing both their copy of the reciept and their credit card statement. Neither Morales or the resturant have produced any evidence to refute either.
Morales should appologise to every victim of actual discrimination.
And she should stop playing on the sympathy of others to enrich her life (but I doubt that is ever going to happen).
She won’t, because it pays off.
According to recent articles, Jodi Arias was ultimately confused and angry because the Prosecutor (of all people) didn’t fall in love with her and help her. :rolleyes: Tells me, with the other stuff, that she too played this game.
My ex-wife was the same way. One lie after another, always telling stories designed to garner sympathy. The whole world was out to get her, people were always inexplicably mean to her, the whole stupid ball of crazy. In the wake of our divorce, I referred to her as a Sympathy Vampire, feeding her entire life off the fraudulently garnered sympathy of others. I think Jodi Arias and Dayna Morales are the same thing.
Am I missing something here? They showed up with the Customer copy of the receipt? I haven’t filled one of those out in years. I write on the business copy, then shove the blank customer copy in my wallet until it can be thrown in the box. I know many people write the tip in there as well for record keeping, but many don’t. If What is written on a customer copy is proof of anything, then I can easily provide proof that I regularly tip 1 billion dollars.
I can’t remember the last time a restaurant gave me a carbon paper type one, just three separate printed sheets.
You are missing something. They also have the credit card bill that shows the charge including tip.
Even if it was a dishonest cashier pocketing her tip, why would they write the homophobic remark on the receipt? Why do something that’s sure to cause a media circus and draw attention? I would think just telling her she got stiffed by a pair of cheap-asses would be the best way to avoid any extra scrutiny. How would a third party erase the handwritten tip and alter the handwritten total anyway?
I think Morales probably took the receipt home and photoshopped it, then wrote in the new total and remark. Did she produce the physical receipt for channel 4, or are they just going by the facebook images?
I don’t know if this has been offered, but is it possible that they filled out and left with the wrong receipt. So, they gave a tip then put the receipt that they wrote on in their pocket and left. This would appear to Morales, and the restaurant, as if there was no tip. Wait—then the receipt wouldn’t have been signed. Never mind.
This makes even less sense. ‘Not showing up’? Insn’t that AWOL? Isn’t this a crime? Aside from the crime of poor reporting, that is.
Not showing up in the military sounds like something that would have more consequences that dishonorable discharge.
Not really. The Guard and Reserves are different than the active duty. If you stop showing up its not a crime*. You are just not fulfilling your military obligation and you will be chaptered out with one of the levels of administrative discharge.** You would most likely have to pay back any bonuses or benefits you receive. To get a dishonorable discharge you have to violate a law under UCMJ and be court martialed.
*unless it is during a call up for deployment.
** there are multiple types of discharge from the military besides honorable and dishonorable.
I don’t suppose a whole lot of people have their very own receipt printers at home, whereby they could print up any bogus receipt they want any time.
I do, and I have all the software I might need to print up a phony receipt. I’m tempted to give it a try. I could become a flash-in-the-pan internet sensation too and collect lots of sympathy donations until I get caught. I’ll get to work on it forthwith . . .
Maybe copy the check BEFORE giving it to the customer? There has to be some way to print a second copy - if the first check was soiled, didn’t print right, etc.
So - print 2 copies of check - take one home and doctor, give other to customer.
And did anybody read what these “homophobic” customers wrote? “how you chose to live your life”? If I’m stiffing somebody I dislike, I’m probably not going to use the terms they use for themselves.
“No tip for butch dykes. you disgusting excuse for a woman!” is much closer to the term I’d use as a homophobe who sat quietly throughout dinner without asking for another server.
Her story was fake from top to bottom - it reminds me of the “kid in a balloon” - that gas bag wasn’t large enough to lift a cat - just how…
and people wonder why I don’t watch TV…
I think a regular printer and scissors would do fine. How real does it have to look to fool the media these days? Just scan the receipt, shop out the handwritten totals, print it and cut it out, fill in the handwritten parts, then photograph it and post on FB.
Shameful. Absolutely shameful.
Also, I’m totally stealing it.
“Lifestyle choice” and similar wording is more commonly used by homophobes than by gay and lesbian people, in my experience.
Interesting. I am not disagreeing with you as a have no data to support it. But I just find it amazing how cultural trends change.
Gay and lesbian used to be derogatory, lifestyle morphed into the new “PC” idea.
Well actually it was “alternative lifestyle”, and “life partner”, things like that. I think the bombshell word in that statement is not lifestyle, more it is the “choice” part.
Anyways, just interesting.
I agree the main issue is with the “choice” rather than with the “lifestyle”. Though there has been a trend away from “lifestyle” as well recently, it seems to me, with more gay and lesbian people making the point that their “lifestyle” is no different than that of straight people. I suspect this corresponds with the increased acceptance of same-sex couples in mainstream society.
Just as an aside, most Point of Sale registers have software that automatically notes that a receipt is a “reprint” or “duplicate” on the actual receipt itself.
Now, you could still 'shop it to take that off on your facebook posts, but the physical receipt would be obviously a copy.
